****ELUSIVE PROGMONSTER!!!****PERPLEXING SONGCRAFT!!!***AN INSPIRATION TO MANY SUBSEQUENT TOPACTS!!!***
!!!!A VERY HARD FIND!!! A couple of thousand (rumoured to be around 2000) were ever pressed of this fantastic prog/psych album. It is hard to understand why they never made the big time.
This is their elusive second album. Extremely hard to find in any condition, but this is stunning. Far scarcer than "In The Land of Grey and Pink" and this is the second of four essential Caravan albums. Sensational sound quality and amazing songcraft. NO skips or jumps. NO clicks, this is really a beautiful heavy glossy vinyl from the height of the Golden Era of Progressive Rock, with a beautiful deep gloss.
I have played this in FULL> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! There are not any jumps, pops or skips. There is hardly any background noise at all!! Very remarkable for this 1970 vinyl!!! The heavy vinyl with high groovewalls provide a fantastic audio experience with channelling not equalled by the later CD versions. I played this on my Technics turntable with a Linn cartridge and through my very revealing B&W three way speakers!!! A beautiful CLASSIC with supreme songcraft, a joy to listen to!!!!
Vinyl: EX.
A sensational find!!! I have played this in FULL twice over> The replay is ASTOUNDING!!! I first played for a general listen and a second time for a more detailed observation. I am very glad to be able to report that this is a fine slab of vinyl without any problems at all and as such worthy of inclusion of any great prog collection. Of course NO jumps/clicks/skips etc.
Sleeve: EX++.
All edges are dead straight. Rarely seen like this!!! A beautiful glossy front-laminated sleeve without any creases. The opening is wonderfully crisp. This album has been carefully looked after. Excellent 100% spine. A very very light ring impression, even new albums have this. NO writing or marks. The back sleeve is totally unmarked. This sleeve is lovely!!!!
***This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible!!! This is a great and seriously collectable super album!! You will buy into a piece of prog core history.***
Labels: EX!!!
Inner polylined sleeve: EX+.
This is the original blue printed earliest Decca polylined inner and in barely used condition.
This is a unique investment opportunity!!! Finding this album in any condition at all is nearly impossible so late in the day. This value of the album is only going to go one way ... up and up ... until it will be totally unavailable at all for a reasonable price. Only around 2000 were ever pressed. How many would be left??? VERY SCARCE!!
Important : International postage will be registered and insured if over GBP 41.00. Please wait for my invoice before paying. Postage will be according to Royal Mail rates. Postage is NOT a money spinning exercise for me.
Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items, I always try my very best to describe everything exactly! PLEASE REMEMBER to contact me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one! I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem! This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy! Similarly with the amount of stars, anything less than a full 5 * rating is effectively detrimental to a seller's rating as lower ratings will incur higher Final Value Fees and lower priority in the bidlists eventually making it unattractive to list items on Ebay at all. I know of at least one major previous Ebay seller who has decided not to list via Ebay again. Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again!!
This an excellent investment opportunity!!! Any questions please ask me and I will try to answer soon.
